Libertarian Gary Johnson sees Trump threat as opportunity

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are all but assured a US presidential showdown in November, but a third-party candidate — Libertarian Gary Johnson — will likely be on the ballot in all 50 states. Johnson, the former two-term governor of New Mexico, earned barely one percent of the vote in 2012 as standard-bearer for the Libertarian Party, which has yet to win a congressional race in its 45-year history and is hardly on the average American voter’s radar. Trump’s recent ascension as the GOP’s presumptive nominee has threatened to unravel the party.
